ORDER GRANTING TLC’S MOTION FOR LEAVE
TO FILE AMENDED LISTING OF OTHER WITNESSES
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s (TLC’s) Motion for Leave to File
Amended Listing of Other Witnesses, which was filed on June 23, 2022. ECF 378. The Motion
represents that, aside from Defendant Joyce’s counsel, “counsel for all Defendants … have no

opposition to TLC’s Amended Listing of Other Witnesses.” Mot. 2. Although Defendant
Joyce’s counsel “sent counsel for TLC correspondence on June 23, 2022 indicating that Defendant
Joyce objected to TLC’s Listing of Other Witnesses,” id., Defendant Joyce has failed to “file a
written response containing a short, concise statement of the arguments and authorities in
opposition to the motion.” Local Rule of the United States District Court for the District of
Wyoming 7.1(b)(1)(B). Consequently, as the fourteen-day window to file such a response has
now passed, the Court will “in its discretion, consider the failure of [Defendant Joyce] to file a
timely response as a confession of the [M]otion.” Id.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED and that TLC may
formally file its Amended Listing of Other Witnesses [ECF 378-2] no later than July 13, 2022.
